About this event
Money isn’t everything. Money can’t buy you love. But when you’re running a speaking
business, there’s no avoiding the significant part that money plays in helping your world go round.
That’s why the next in-person PSA London meeting is devoted to sharing ways in which you can ensure you get the maximum financial return for the speaking you do.
We’ve got two keynote talks from people with exceptional insight into the financial side of the speaking game, and I can promise you will leave with a batch of practical steps you can take to boost your bottom line.
A lot of words get used up in sermons delivered across the professional speaking community about the sacred act of fee setting, the sanctity of minimum fees, and the existential dangers of speaking for free. The reality is that there are many forms of value we can derive from a speech beyond the financial. From access to audiences we might not be able to reach, through to platforms to try out new materials in a ‘safe space’ – we need to think about the wider strategic fit of any opportunity. In this session, Rohit will talk about assessing different forms of value, and how he has factored them into the development of his speaking business over the last 30 years.
We’ll also have an Ask The Expert session that will focus on the subject of “am I worthy of the money”, tackling that imposter syndrome when it appears. , as well as two
showcases.
As ever, there will be plenty of opportunities to network with old friends and new, as
well as breakfast and an excellent hot lunch.
I’m really looking forward to the day, and I hope you are too – see you there! Queen Vic
